The Celtics are North of the border tonight for a tilt with the Toronto Raptors, who lead the Atlantic Division by a game and have picked up steam of late, winning seven of the last 10 games.

Despite a fourth-quarter ankle scare Wednesday night against the Hawks, Al Jefferson said after Thursday's practice that he only he's ready to go against the Raptors.

"It feels good. I'm expecting to play [tonight]. I wanted to come back last night," said Jefferson. "I must have stepped on somebody's foot. I tweaked it earlier in the game and it wasn't as bad, but it happened again."

Wally Szczerbiak (ankles) didn't make the trip to Toronto, but Brian Scalabrine (knee) is expected to be ready to play tonight.

Despite missing most of December with a knee injury of his own, Raptors power forward Chris Bosh was just named as a starter to the Eastern Conference All-Star Team, and he's put together a nice season half way through the schedule.

Bosh has played pretty well against the Celtics in two victories this season, averaging 26.0 points and 9.5 rebounds in the two contests. And he's coming off a season-high 35 points against New Orleans/Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
